Leading Carpet and Upholstery Brand Strengthens Franchise Development Program with Accelerated Growth Ahead.

Key to the brand’s strong performance is its QuickStart program that helps new owners get the training and support they need for equipment and back-office operations, and move from onboarding and training to revenue generation in weeks, as they build their business. Since launching the program in 2017, annual revenues have more than doubled in that timeframe, a testament to the focused support provided. With a low-cost investment, the revenue potential continues to drive prospects to the franchise opportunity.

With over four decades of market leadership, we remain focused on providing innovative, personalized, high-quality care to make spaces cleaner and healthier.”

Chem-Dry creates cleaner, healthier indoor environments with its proprietary equipment and solutions for carpet, upholstery, granite countertops and hard floor surfaces, such as wood, tile and vinyl. In further testing of its processes, a study conducted by a leading independent laboratory concluded that the Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning method removes an average of 98% of common household allergens from carpets and upholstery. Chem-Dry has a national partnership with the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA), working to raise awareness and provide education on the importance of indoor air quality in maintaining the health and safety of homes and businesses.

redbox+ Dumpsters Market Resiliency Positions Brand for Growth in 2023

2023-02-03T10:08:05-05:00February 3rd, 2023|Tags: , , , , , |

Roll-off Dumpster Rental Business Maintains Strong Retention Rate Earning Several Franchise Industry Accolades.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Since its inception, redbox+ Dumpsters has become the answer to the construction, renovation, and restoration industries’ woes on how to keep job sites clean and efficient. While it also offers traditional roll-off dumpsters, the company is best known for its patented combination portable toilet and roll-off dumpster container that brings added convenience and efficiency to any job site.

The past 12 months have led to strong performance for redbox+ Dumpsters due to the increased demand for home renovations in the construction segment, coupled with the brand’s promise to deliver its innovative roll-off dumpsters on time. The company closed out 2022 with upwards of 300 franchise territories and more than 80 franchisees across the country. In addition, it has continued to hold a 90 percent retention rate with contract partners and its position as a market differentiator in an economically resilient sector. In 2023, redbox+ Dumpsters is expecting another year of double-digit unit growth by adding individuals to the franchise system who have a desire to be a part of the brand’s upward growth trajectory, be independent and are dedicated to providing the highest level of customer service.

Starting 2023 off strong, redbox+ Dumpsters has been recognized as number one in its category and in the top half of Entrepreneur Magazine’s ‘Franchise 500’ list. Within the past year, the brand was also placed on Franchise Dictionary Magazine’s annual list of the “Top 100 Game Changers”. After reviewing hundreds of entries, Franchise Dictionary Magazine’s editorial team selected redbox+ Dumpsters as a brand that has changed the game, further proving its innovative product line has positioned the brand as a disruptor in its segment.

Additionally, much of redbox+ Dumpsters’ expansion in recent years can be attributed to being acquired by BELFOR Franchise Group, a family of 13 industry-leading residential and commercial service brands owned by the worldwide restoration leader BELFOR Property Restoration. The relationship has brought redbox+ Dumpsters franchise owners tangible benefits and further solidified the brand as one of the most trusted names in the business. This has allowed entrepreneurs to build successful businesses in their local community as a result of BELFOR’s built-in expansive knowledge, operational expertise, and ecosystem of connections in the service industry. So far, the home office team has added three new regional business coaches and a marketing coordinator to support franchisees as the brand scales toward a national footprint.

“We are extremely excited about the growth we’ve seen in the past few years and the growth we see ahead of us,” said Rusty Amarante, president of redbox+ Dumpsters. “A turnkey business model combined with an innovative concept like ours sets franchisees up for success. It’s incredible to see how we are making a positive impact on people’s lives by giving them the opportunity to build a successful business in their communities.”

Leading Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Franchise Spreads Across the Golden State, Seizes Opportunity for Continued West Coast Development.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise leader Chem-Dry recently announced two major signed agreements in California, furthering the brand’s presence in the state. One signed agreement covers the Sacramento area, and the other covers Greater San Bernadino. Chem-Dry is on the fast-track for growth in 2022, with 23 signed agreements year-to-date and a goal of adding 70 franchises by the end of the year.

Heading up the recent California development for Chem-Dry in California are franchisees Cliff Mastrolia and Dada Ojeisekhoba. Mastrolia’s Chem-Dry territory covers Greater Sacramento, including Placer and El Dorado counties, and Ojeisekhoba’s territory includes San Bernadino and Riverside counties.

Mastrolia is a Sacramento-area local with a military background and experience in management and sales, most recently working as a bail bondsman for ten years. Ojeisekhoba is located in Orange County, and has worked in the cleaning industry for over 20 years before finding Chem-Dry. Both franchisees saw potential for growth in their service areas, and chose the brand due to its extensive recognition for quality and success over the past 45 years.

“People have been moving out of the larger hubs in California like Los Angeles and San Francisco, which presents a great opportunity for Cliff and Dada’s service areas,” said Ed Quinlan, President of Chem-Dry, part of the BELFOR Franchise Group family of brands. “We are thrilled to have them on our team as we continue to increase Chem-Dry’s brand presence on the West Coast.”

Placer and Sacramento counties have experienced decent growth compared to other areas of the state, with both counties seeing increases in population during the pandemic. San Bernadino and Riverside counties also noted a population increase despite nearby Orange County seeing a decline. Chem-Dry is poised for growth in the state, with over 250 franchises in operation across California.

Chem-Dry, the Healthy Home Authority®, currently serves more than 11,000 homes and businesses each day across 55 countries. Over the next six months, the 45-year-old brand aims to further increase its North American coverage by adding 50 franchises across the United States and Canada.

Chem-Dry creates cleaner, healthier indoor environments with its proprietary equipment and solutions for carpet, upholstery, granite countertops and hard floor surfaces, such as wood, tile and laminates. In further testing of its processes, a study conducted by a leading independent laboratory concluded that the Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning method removes an average of 98% of common household allergens from carpets and upholstery. Chem-Dry has a national partnership with the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA), working to raise awareness and provide education on the importance of indoor air quality in maintaining the health and safety of homes and businesses.

Since its launch in 1977, Chem-Dry has become the recognized market leader by building a robust network of 1,800 franchises across the country. Most recently, the brand was recognized for the second year in a row by Global Franchise Magazine as the Best Property Maintenance Franchise, validating the premier status of the brand. It recognizes Chem-Dry for what it does best, which is supporting its franchisees while also making homes and workplaces cleaner, healthier and safer. Additionally, Chem-Dry was one of the top 500 franchises in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Chem-Dry ranked on this prestigious list for its outstanding performance in unit growth, financial strength and stability, and overall brand power.

With territories available in prime markets nationwide, Chem-Dry is an industry-leading brand in a large and growing category, that offers its franchise network world-class training and support.
